Trump Says He Told Netanyahu Iran Strike Is ‘Inappropriate’

US President Donald Trump said he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that a military strike against Iran would risk disrupting efforts to broker a deal on Tehran’s nuclear program.

“I told him this would be inappropriate to do right now, because we’re very close to a solution,” Trump told reporters Wednesday. “Now that could change at any moment — could change with a phone call, but right now, I think they want to make a deal.”
